Main features

Superior sound source

The KR103’s sounds are based on full-length (uncom- pressed) waveforms. This produces vibrant, realistic sounds. The KR103’s tone generator is 64-voice poly- phonic. Many sounds have been processed and edited to provide an even more authentic response.

Combined with the new amplification system, the KR103 sounds truly amazing, with a clear high end and a powerful low range.

Two instruments in one

The KR103 can be used as piano, arranger keyboard (i.e. a synthesizer with automatic accompaniment) or a combination of both – all at the touch of a button.

Piano Tones that rely on stereo sampling

The Roland technology used ensures that your KR103 offers some of the finest concert grand piano sounds ever created.

New concept

The KR103 is 19-part multitimbral, with 3 parts that can be played via the keyboard (Upper, Layer and Lower). The Upper part can be used to play piano parts, melodies, or for drumming, while the Lower and Layer parts allow you to quickly add a second sound to your solo playing.

Furthermore, the KR103 provides a new selection routine for Music Styles, Tones, songs, and User Programs.

The KR103 also sports a Piano Arranger function that allows you to play chords anywhere on the keyboard.

Excellent Arranger

The KR103 comes loaded with more than 160 all-new Music Styles prepared by Roland’s legendary Style foundry. As usual, several patterns are available (INTRO, ORIGINAL, VARIATION, FILL-IN and ENDING), with additional options via the STYLE ORCHESTRATOR buttons.

And much, much more…

A metronome and several educational functions are provided, while three digital effects processors (Reverb, Chorus and MFX) can be used to further enhance the already amazing sound quality.

The KR103 can play back GM, GM2, GS and XG song data, so that you can virtually use any Standard MIDI File available at your Roland dealer or on the Internet.

The KR103 is also equipped with a floppy disk drive (2DD/2HD) for data management and importing Music Styles prepared for older Roland arranger instruments.

Note: The KR103 supports XG Light and therefore only provides the basic set of compatible functions.
